I love Perri! She was there for me last minute for my birth and i wouldn’t have made it without her. She took on almost everything and got me to understand the nurses and doctors. As a single mom i was overwhelmed, nervous, terrified, and more. With with all that, I’m glad she showed up last minute when she was called because i had literally no one that could be there and by the grace of god she showed up and so did my sons godmother. She doesn’t just stop at the hospital. Still, throughout my postpartum, she has still given me 110% support and is able to guide me into motherhood smoothly. She will forever be apart of our lives. I 100000/10 recommend her to any mothers in need of a supportive doula.

Responds within a few hours

Hi, I’m Barbara! I’m a certified Newborn Care Specialist (NCS), postpartum doula support provider, and a mom to a toddler girl. With over 5 years of hands-on experience caring for newborns and infants—including children with special needs—I bring both professional knowledge and real-life understanding to every family I support. I specialize in overnight newborn care, helping parents get the rest they need while ensuring their baby is safe, soothed, and well cared for throughout the night. I am experienced with paced bottle feeding, recognizing newborn cues, soothing techniques, and supporting healthy sleep habits from the very beginning. I know how overwhelming the newborn stage can feel, and my goal is to bring a calm, reliable, and nurturing presence into your home so you can feel supported, confident, and truly rest.

We truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Barbara! From the moment she joined our family, she was such a calming, reassuring presence during those early newborn months. She would quietly come in and immediately find ways to help, often taking care of things around the house without us even having to ask. She is incredibly thoughtful, flexible, dependable, and truly goes above and beyond in everything she does. Most importantly, she was absolutely wonderful with our baby. Her warmth, patience, and genuine love for what she does were evident from day one. With her guidance and support, our daughter was sleeping through the night by just 2.5 months old! Barbara made such a difference in helping us navigate those early weeks and feel confident as parents. What started as a professional relationship quickly turned into a friendship, and we genuinely looked forward to seeing her each week. We were so sad when the time came to say goodbye, but so grateful to have had her as part of our family. We have been recommending her to everyone we know and would hire her again in a heartbeat. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have Barbara caring for their little one!

I am passionate about supporting parents as they adjust to life with a newborn, providing both practical guidance and compassionate care to help make the transition smoother and more joyful. With a background in medical training, I bring a strong foundation of clinical knowledge alongside years of hands-on caregiving experience with infants, toddlers, and families.

Outside of my work, I enjoy fostering kittens, visiting new restaurants, and spending time with my husband and our cat.

We’re based in NYC and worked with Neffie virtually to help with our 10 month old son’s sleep. She took her time to understand our routine, concerns, and what we felt comfortable doing. We really appreciated having her guidance that was specific to our baby and being able to ask her questions without feeling pressured or judged to do things. Before working together, we were struggling with early morning wakings, short naps, and hourly night wakings. With Neffie’s support, she helped us to get our son sleeping through the night, remove the early morning wakings, and prolong his daytime naps. Having Neffie’s clear plan and having her help us work through adjustments made us feel confident in how to approach things, and she even provided a document to resolve future sleep problems our son may have. We’d recommend Neffie to any parent that is looking for thoughtful, personalized sleep support. She truly cares for each family she works with, and recommend her to anyone who struggles with their child’s sleep.

Tayna was an incredible doula for our new family of three. From the very beginning, she centered everything around education-based choices, which was so important to me. She didn’t just offer support, but also equipped both me and my husband with the knowledge and confidence to navigate every decision we faced. During labor and delivery, she was a steady, grounding presence. In a space that can feel overwhelming and unpredictable, Tayna was the calm in the storm. She supported us in advocating for our wants and needs while also helping us stay flexible and informed in the moment. Because of her, my birth experience felt empowering, supported, and truly beautiful. She held space for us in a way that made us feel seen, heard, and completely cared for. We are so grateful for Tayna and feel truly lucky to have had her as part of this experience.
